Re: The Birth of a Tool (Axe) & latest, Chisel

[Chui]

I guess it came about from a number of things, starting with Gizmo's recent Cegga Beauty thread and a very good BB mate showing me the why's and wherefore's of different axes and their uses.

Now I have two, and two more on the way.......and looking to do some kind of axe course this summer if possible.

Slowly - very slowly, my grey matter is coming to understand a little more about steels and how all these great tools and blades most of us just buy, are made.

Then today I was sent this vid. Utterly delightful, no glitz or glamour, just an honestly and very nicely made piece of filming and craftsmanship.

I'm no-one to judge, but this unassuming fella will do well.
